Teacher To Appear In Court

Digest

A former Coral Springs High School teacher, accused of making sexual advances to three female students, has been charged with battery in one of the alleged incidents.

Robert Mitchell Long, 35, of Boca Raton, was ordered to appear in court on July 3 to be arraigned on the charge.

A female student told Coral Springs police that Long asked her to come to his classroom to grade papers for him in April. While she was grading the papers, Long grabbed her, kissed her and fondled her, she said.

Long refused to talk to police on the advice of his attorney. He could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
